To save lives, promote self-reliance and dignity through human transformation, going beyond relief and development.

IAS is a non-political and non-profitable humanitarian relief- and development organisation standing on a biblical foundation with the goal to meet all the needs of a person and restore him/her physically, psychologically and spiritually. Since 1989 IAS has grown considerably and is now represented in 18 countries with approximately 350 employees. During the first 15 years the organisation used 'Sweden' in its logo; and was therefore called International Aid Sweden. In the last couple of years, IAS northern offices have expanded to also include Denmark, Norway, Germany and USA. To make the organisational name more suitable for the partners in these countries, IAS changed its name to 'International Aid Services' with effect from January 2004.
